It's the end of the world as you know it – brought to you by a Gnome Mage with big balls of fire

One of those nice WoW experiences

Well I have been seeing everyone else writing about them, but didn’t have anything to write myself, well until today.

Last night, after joining BA chat for the first time, and realizing I had never seen Leafy‘s site, I went and had a gander. There was a post there about a fishing book (Weather-beaten Journal) that allows you to track fish. I had never heard about it, and really haven’t been interested in leveling my fishing on Gnomeaggedon. But I am a little nutty and decided I wanted the book.

Nice story!
Fishing, while totally boring can save and make you a ton of cash. If you are merely intrested in leveling you can go all the way from 1 to 375 fishing in Storwind. The only thing that matters about where you are is possibly catching special fish. The skill up rate doesn’t change no matter where you are.

I have only previously (Pre-TBC) worried about it as a hunter (for pet food) and as a mean of leveling cooking.

This time around when I was leveling cooking I still used fish, but spent 10 minutes clicking at the AH, rather than 10 hours clicking at a bobber.

I found that as the buffs come from the cooked variety, in reality all I needed was leveled cooking… and a fishing mate. As my mates have more time to grind, they catch the fish – and in fact usually cook them too.

Mind you 99% of the time my food of choice is blackened basilisk… which I fish with 2 fireballs… nothing better than grenade fishing…. ;-)
